Q. I was riding as a passenger during a traffic stop. The offficer demanded I Identify myself, told him my brother’s name

March 28, 2024

A: Yes. That created a violation of the law, even if one didn’t exist before.

Q. If the name is misspelled on almost every court document. Could this be a reason for a dismissal?

March 26, 2024

A: No. A minor mistake like that is called a Scrivener’s Error. It’s blamed on the person typing up the paperwork that someone else directed. If it’s pointed out, the case won’t get dismissed; it will just get corrected.

Q. what classifies a drug charge as traffing ,is it the amount or the way the substance is packaged when it's found?

March 22, 2024

A: It can be either. If the amount is more than what people would consider “for personal use,” or if it’s packaged in such a way that it can be easily sold, it will be considered trafficking. Even small amounts can carry the higher charge if behavior implies that you’re planning to sell it.
